After doing some research, making an initial template, and trying it for a few months, I've finally temporarily finalized (yea, I said that) my weekly chore list. It's really helped me to not be overwhelmed on Saturdays and when I would try to do it all with the hopes of being able to relax and enjoy my family on the weekends.
I debated whether or not to blog this, but I looked at numerous other blogs, so I figure...why not post what worked for me? And actually, Elizabeth and I get most of our chores done in the morning before work so we can focus on dinner and walks w/ puppy after work.

(I never dusted pictures before until I saw someone else post it. I then went to my pictures and saw what they were talking about -- ewww! Who knew picture frames needed to be dusted...I do, now.)
think I'll copy this, I need some regiment love Mom :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't include "vacuuming" because I do it every other day anyway since the dog sheds and the woman of the house doesn't like to take her shoes off. :) And Elizabeth likes to watch Mom vacuum.
ReplyDeleteI also don't water my plants the 2nd time during the week in the summer because it is more moist in the house and I don't want root rot.
